Couldn´t post this in project page, if an admin could change it to project folder, I would apreciate it. Thanks I´ve had my coupe for a month and a few days now, he is in desperate need of TLC. This is what I got him so far, some of the parts are already assembled, some are still going to be assembled. Any sugestions are always welcome (Styling can´t be to everyone´s taste, so... it will only have to suit it´s owner...me ) The spoilers are still in the paint shop and they are, "boot included" Cadamuro designs. Here´s some pictures. new carpets Extra exaust header to port and get ceramic coated Ported intake manifold to get ceramic coated and thermal gasket higher flow injectors New Aluminium Intercooler New BOV and new spark plugs. New Silicone water hose kit Maintenance parts, a lot are not in the picture smoked side signal lights New abarth rim centers and new "shoes". Toyo (only size in my car title...had to downsize so I could pass MOT). 70mm staineless dual muffler exaust. Walbro hi flow fuel pump new bonnet hidraulic struts. Aluminium boot and cadamuro adjustable spoiler (in paintshop at the moment) Cadamuro roofspoiler More to come!!!

Oooo, I do like shiney parts, best of luck with your project Carlos. I always take my hat off to anybody who seriously works on these cars. I dabble, but anything major gets shipped out.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Carlos, in this picture, the front hub/axle has a lot more metal around the point where the track rod end bolts in, is this a custom modification or a special thing for those awful Portugese roads? (Actually I'm sure the roads are fine, but I know that in Argentina and Venezuela they had different shock absorbers)

After a while without updates, the Project continues: MAF delete...MAP Based tune. (by Oracle Performance) Widget and AVCR boost controler. EGT and AFR display multigauge (AFR also displays on celphone app) To come next few weeks: Hybrid turbo 62 trim from Midlands Car Servicing (Get well JBT) and new tune... Painted and ready to go to place.

One of the turbo compressor blades looks to have some "gunk" (unknown material) on it?

I'm not one for body kits myself, but if you're going to have a rear wing, that one looks nicely finished. Good looking car! Well done.
